The Prime Minister, Dr.
Manmohan Singh, has condemned the series of blasts
in Jammu & Kashmir and Mumbai. He has urged the
people to remain calm and assured that the
government will take all possible measures to
maintain law and order. Expressing his shock and
grief the Prime Minister said:
“The series of blasts in
Jammu & Kashmir and in Mumbai are shocking and
cowardly attempts to spread a feeling of fear and
terror among our citizens. My heart reaches out and
grieves for all those affected by these blasts and
who have lost their near and dear. I condemn these
shameful acts aimed at our peace loving people.
I reiterate our
commitment to fighting terror in all its forms. The
people of Jammu and Kashmir have been facing attacks
of terrorists with courage and fortitude in the
past. I am sure they would continue to fight terror
resolutely.
The citizens of Mumbai
have faced a similar trauma more than a decade ago.
I am confident that the people of this great city
have the will and courage to face this situation and
will stand firm in their resolve to carry on their
normal activities without succumbing to threats of
terror.
We will work to defeat
the evil designs of terrorists and will not allow
them to succeed. I urge the people to remain calm,
not to believe rumours and carry on their activities
normally. The Government will take all possible
measures to maintain law and order and defeat the
forces of terrorism.”
